Recognition of Prior Learning

Overview

RPL enables recognition of achievement from a range of activities using any appropriate assessment methodology. Provided that the assessment requirements of a given unit or qualification have been met, the use of RPL is acceptable for accrediting a unit(s) or a whole qualification. The learner will be made aware the possibility that they may be able to claim credit for some of their previous learning.

RPL Qualification Criteria

The Assessor will require the leaner to provide evidence that satisfy the following RPL qualification criteria:

Current: RPL evidence must be current and still valid.

Authentic: Proof must be show that the RPL evidence has been authenticated.

Relevant: RPL Evidence presented must be relevant and applicable.

Sufficient: Sufficient RPL evidence should be presented.

After accepting a learner for assessment of prior learning, registration should be made in the usual way and RPL achievement may then be reported and graded where appropriate using normal methods. RPL records completed, should be retained for the standard three-year period following certification. The assessor must ensure that all learning outcomes and assessment criteria being claimed for each unit are achieved and that the records of assessment are maintained in the usual way.
